Family is the basic unit of society. It is one of the most essential component of a nation. A home is where a family lives. It may be alternated to the word ‘house’ but a house is more appropriately referring to the material structure, whereas ‘home’ refers to the intangible things that bind together the family members. It is the immeasurable love and care that keeps together the mother, father and their children (Beckford 2010). Children from broken families are nearly five times more likely to suffer mental troubles than those whose parents stay together. According to Dounghty, (2008), it also showed that two parents are much better than one if children are to avoid slipping into emotional distress and anti-social behavior and also looked at conduct disorders which result in aggressive, violent or anti-social behavior. Children whose parents split in this generation are more than four and a half times more-likely to have developed an emotional disorder than one whose parents stayed together. Several findings said that children’s family backgrounds are as important - if not more so - than whether their home is poor, workless, has bad health, or has no one with any educational qualifications. The effects, however, are more focused on the children. Premarital sexual activities is one of the major effects of splitting of families, sometimes with only one parent guiding, the child has more chance of rebelling against his/her parent. Also, increase in financial problem, hatred and anger builds up from families who experience distraught in their relationships.

Education is also an area wherein stark differences in the outcomes for those who had been in a broken home are created. According to Lann (2010) for 18- to 24-year-olds, 62 per cent of those who experienced parental divorce/separation during their childhood completed 12 years of education compared with 77 per cent of those whose parents did not. Hence, this study was conducted in the College of Computing Education Department in University of Mindanao in order to evaluate the effects and to determine what student do to lessen the suffering of having a broken family, and how to overcome the effects on their academic performance.

Statement of the Problem
??

Theoretical FrameworkThe concept of effects of having a broken family. According to glenn (2010) broken family varies from numerous reasons why it had to be that way. But usually, misunderstanding starts from simple domestic quarrel that grows impertinently damaging the long-forged relationship between the family members. When a couple split up, it is the children that are greatly affected scarring them physically, emotionally and socially. Marla (2014) says broken family students failed to handle the curriculum. This failure includes various aspects of educational failure such as rebellion, frequent absence from classes, dropping out and many more. Studies have shown that people shown that people with academic failure are more probable to rebel and use drugs at older ages; therefore, academic failure and dropout might result to rebellion, drug, and alcohol addictions. Living in single parent is difficult because there’s a need of love, care, and fulfilment of the duty of both parents. If the role of each parent is broken it will damage and have a great impact to the student, on how will the student live with it. If one of the parent will left due of miss...

INTRODUCTION
In the Philippines, Family is defined as the small unit of society where students got their first learning about the world before they engage themselves in the real scenarios of life. It is believed that parents are the first advisers of their kids who will teach them everything about all aspects of life including education. Filipinos nurture the value of family and their importance to one’s life.
Filipinos are well-known of having close family ties that love, respect, support and understand one another. An individual cannot achieve his or her goals without the necessary supports from the family. The family becomes the major inspiration of students to work hard and earn better grades so that one day they can help their family. Most of Filipino students believed that a perfect family can bring them hope, luck, success and a better life in the future. But if these things are not found in one student’s life, delay or halt and even absence of education might occur.
There are many difficulties faced by students while they are studying such as financial constraints, drug addiction, suspension from school, involvement in different fraternities, attached in relationships, unwillingness to attend classes and many more.

These feelings internalize or expressed, will result in certain behavior that will possibly affect to the child’s outlook in life.
Some parents separate because they’re not ready to start a family because they’re too young and they want to enjoy their young adulthood. It can also be because they’re husband is hurting them. But, most causes of parent’s separation are financial problem and cheating.
In some aspects parent’s lacks communication and understanding that leads to their “coldness” to one another that also leads to cheating. Also, some parents’ separate because their parents don’t want the wife/ husband for their child for some reason. And most of all, some husbands leave their wife when they knew they’re pregnant because to fight to uphold that kind of responsibility and vice versa, but that case is when the parents are still teenagers.

INTRODUCTION
The family is the child's first place of contact with the world. The child as a result, acquires initial education and socialization from parents and other significant persons in the family. Agulana (2009) pointed out that the family lays the psychological, moral, and spiritual foundation in the overall development of the child. Structurally, family/homes is either broken or intact. A broken home in this context, is one that is not structurally intact, as a result of divorce, separation, death of one parent and illegitimacy. According to Frazer (2001), psychological home conditions arise mainly from illegitimacy of children, the label of adopted child, broken home, divorce and parental deprivation. Such abnormal conditions of the home, are likely to have a detrimental effect on school performance of the child he asserts.
Life, in a single parent family or broken home can be stressful for both the child and the parent. Such families are faced with challenges of inadequate financial resources (children defense fund, 2004). Schultz (2006)...

...Filipino workers are emotionally affected by the status of their families. To help them, there is a need for the school to know that the parents of the children are OFWs.
City councilor Lulu Tabanda has submitted a proposed resolution urging educational institutions in the city to inform OFW parents of the status of their children enrolled in the institution.
She said that because of the abnormal family set up, the impact on the behavior and habits of the children manifests in their performance in school and other academic activities.
The sacrifices of these migrant workers should be well compensated through a partnership with established institutions by way of constant communication to update the parents on the status of their children.
Tabanda added that educational institutions must be encouraged to connect to the OFW parents pertaining their children in school as well as on the other areas where the temporary guardian can intercede on behalf of the absent parent.
Baguio City, she said, is one among the localities where the attraction of overseas employment lures its people into leaving their homes for a better future.
Due to the difficulty of finding jobs in the country, many Filipinos, who are married and with children, are forced to leave the country and their families to be able to sustain the needs of their children especially education with hopes to uplift the status of the...

* BrokenFamily Relationships: When to Walk Away, and When to Run
I have always had trouble getting along with my mother. Ever since I was old enough to have an opinion and arguably before then, my mother and I have been at odds. On top of that, I never even had a great relationship with my dad but that's a topic for another post entirely. A vast majority of my friends, peers, and coworkers have a relationship with at least one parent. It has really caused me to question a lot about my faith, myself, and the fairness of not being able to choose one's parents.
The idea of a parent is a tough one. What does it take to make a parent? What is a good parent and what is a bad parent? Absentee parents fall somewhere in between because even if they live at the same address as their children, they're emotionally unavailable. According to dictionary.com, the definition for parent is: a mother or a father. I'm no expert on the etymology of words, but I think we should redefine parents a bit. A parent is someone who loves, nurtures, and cares for their young. There are plenty of "parents" in the world who may not have bore children of their body but have certainly bore children of their heart.
As a young Christian, I have been tormented by my relationship with my mother and my other family members. Over the years, my relationship with her and my siblings has deteriorated tremendously. On the one hand,...

...characteristic forms of youth suicide. Again, it is either too much or too little social integration that tends to result in a suicidal adolescent. Intensely regulated societies tend to produce “fatalistic” suicides among young members of society. Many suicidal teens feel trapped while under excessive constraints or repressive rules. On the other hand are “anomic” suicides.3 These youth have much difficulty adjusting to changes within society and family organization. For example, divorce and death within a youth’s family tends to be a significant variable. In discussing sociological factors of youth suicide, it must also be mentioned that economic status is also a contributing factor. Although teens of all economic backgrounds commit suicide, among the economically deprived the numbers are significantly higher.
Durkheim played a large role in studying the sociological influences on suicides. Many other researchers have followed his approach and sought to connect suicide to general social factors like the disintegration of communities and families, as well as economic distresses. Some sociologists have suggested that it is an adolescent’s interpretation of his social situation, rather than the situation itself that ultimately contributes to the suicide. Other sociologists have also acknowledged that a young individual’s personality may influence the interpretation of a given social situation as grounds for suicide. It is at this...
